How well does it work when reading or watching a movie outside in the sun?

It's definitely not anti glare but with the brightness up its ok for the most part

I did not have any trouble seeing the picture on the screen in sunlight. I just shot over 170 photos outside and it worked fine.

Hi Jack, Even when the sun is high and glaring directly on my LCD screen, I still can see my subject! Buy it. You'll love it.

It can be difficult if the sun is shining right on it. But it's no different than any other viewing screen outside in daylight. It's not any worse than other digital camera viewing screens.

It may very well be. I haven't tried reading in the sun but it might do the job. Not sure. Sorry.

I use it for walking at night not reading, but it has three light brightness settings. I would think it would be fine for reading.

It operates better than I expected during the day time. If it's direct sunlight, I think you're outta luck with most projectors, but this is used in our office and during the morning it's rather bright and it works fine, but is obviously better in low light situations.

If using indoors it works well, if using outdoors where its brighter there is still a lot of glare on the screen.

Jordean, I never used the sight outdoors in sunlight. It works fine at the indoor range. It has 4 brightness settings. It's no EOTech, but at this price point it will do.

I have not used it outdoors, but I have used it in a brightly illuminated room with lots of unshaded windows, and it provides a bright, vivid picture -- better than any other I have ever seen. (But, if the sun outside is shining directly on the screen, no projector can overpower that. So there is no absolute answer to your question -- "it depends...") Hope this helps.

I have never read mine in the sunlight outside. It comes with adjustable brightness option and I believe an auto adjust option.

It has plenty of lumens and works fine on semi-dark environments too, obviously it won't work in a very bright environment. The only thing I didn't liked about it is that if you connect via HDMI all the audio will go to the projector speaker (and is not loud enough), it could be better if it had an audio output port.

One problem is that with some ereaders (some batch of kindle 2) you will see fading under direct sunlight. I think it only affect older screen technologies.

I have not tried it but I suspect that in normal sunlight you should have no problem. In low light or at night you may have an issue.

I found it easy to read in both bright daylight and at twilight. Since I only use mine when the camera is mounted on a tripod I would be comfortable using it -- with the aid of either a headlamp or an assistant holding a flashlight -- after dark.

I haven't had any problems with it. However, I haven't tried reading in really bright sunlight.

I have mine in my backyard, it works fine when it is dark, not sure how good it would work during the day in the sunlight.
